The Free State of Prussia boasts a cadre of well-trained and highly experienced veteran front-line medics, often well-versed both in human and veterinary first aid. Many Prussian Combat Medics are former lay members of the knightly orders such as the Malteserorden, who still maintain hospices in memory of their original purpose.

Prussian Combat Medics of the Stosstruppen are selected from amongst the best and the most athletic in the entire Armed Medical Service. They follow the Lazarus Doctrine, a protocol which dictates that the priority of the krieg-sanitäter is to return soldiers to combat immediately, using any means at their disposal. The Free State has the most advanced chemical warfare programme in Europa, and it provides its Combat Medics with an excellent kit to get even the most severely wounded soldiers back on their feet and into the fray once more.

it isn’t uncommon for a Lazarist Prophet to direct their visions of calamity upon Christian settlements that have denied them alms, declaring them no better than sinners at the burning gates awaiting their turn at the yoke of the Court. They camp outside the walls of offending settlements in spiritual protest, exhorting sulfuric damnations through loudspeakers, capturing craven merchants and travelers who peddle to the blasphemers, and crafting towering monuments from the cracked millstones left by leper-pilgrims who have perished during their long and arduous protests. While some are satisfied with demonstration alone, some Lazarist Prophets will pick up arms and direct their pilgrims into the cities by force, sacking fellow Christians for their supplies and demanding the burdens of faith be shared amongst all

War Cardinal Domenico Alidosi of the Papal States is a vigorous, charismatic and aggressive frontline commander. Under his supervision the Swiss Guard has seen a forceful expansion, including a large contingent of newly-raised Heavy Mechanised Infantry, Papal Air Force to ensure the sanctity of the Holy See and the expansion of the Holy Fleet.

Remove cyprus, like give it to the heretics, and good luck trying to send aid to new antioch, i wouldnt be surprised if it was the second most militarized faithfull nation, only behind new antioch itself

Context: in the early 20th century, Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz of the Imperial German Navy had a strategy to deter britain from challenging germany at sea, the Risikotheorie. Basically, he wanted Germany to build a navy powerful enough that Britain would hesitate to fight it, fearing that the losses would be so severe that Britain could lose its naval superiority.

Instead, Britain responded by building EVEN MORE ships. Obviously, this wasn't easy, and there were plenty of political and financial problems, but the British were determined not to let Germany gain the upper hand. By the outbreak of World War I, Britain had 29 dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers, compared with 17 for Germany. In fact, Britain had almost as many dreadnought-type capital ships as France, Germany, and Russia combined.

Lets say a more radical soviet leader named john union takes power and decides that the best way to save the union is to invade everyone who doesnt follow moscow's orders, basically: everyone neutral and in nato, and they order the red army and warsaw pact to invade in total war, what then?

We will assume nukes, for x or y reason, wont be used, i know unrealistic, but lets say they are not used for the sake of this scenario

Like, new damascus is literally right next to two heretical domains and the gate itself, i wouldnt be surprised if it was the "new antioch of the sultanate" to say it like that

Johannes served for seven years in New Antioch before returning to his northern homeland hardened by war. Haunted by his experiences, he enlisted with the border forces and joined many others like him, who understand why return to civilian life is near-impossible. He is known for his near-suicidal bravery in long-distance patrols that have taken him ever-nearer to the Hellmouth itself.

His faithful steed, Hela, shows the terrible signs of corruption that plague all animals that stray too close to the Infernal gate. As with many steeds, Hela is festooned with holy symbols, as these are believed to keep evil at bay. The bond between the steed and the rider is often strong, and the Hakkapeliittas spend much of their meagre pay on holy icons and crucifixes, hoping to protect their loyal mounts from the influence of evil, as well as from the dreaded marbendill of the Path of the Beast, which stalk the forgotten grottos and swamps in the lands that have been claimed by the Heretic lords of the North.

Your objective is this: keeping the union alive, you will be healthy and in your early 40s, so dont worry about dying

Two scenarios:

1. you know what we in the current day know

2. you know only what the soviet leader and the soviet union would know in 1980

The only rule is that you keep the cold war going until 2000, then you can choose to gradually end it if you wish
